Hello! I have an Ati Radeon Mobility 8 MB DDR on a Compaq Presarion 1722. When
I install RH 8 i select enable 3d hardware acceleration but when I start
tuxracer it don't have acceleration at all. Also mplayer and xine from fresh
rpms doesn't work properly (they do not return from fullscreen,...).
I have installed SUSE 8.1 and I see that I have hardware acceleration and
mplayer works good. Since it seems that both use the driver "radeon". Can
anybody explain me what changes (I am a newbie) must I do in XF86Config or
wherever I have to ghange things to have proper 3d acceleration and video
players working.
I attach both XF86Config from SUSE 8.1 and RH 8:
Any suggestion will be really appreciated.
SUSE XF86Config:

Since I want to use RH could anybody explain me how to solve it?
Thank you very much indeed
